I have given you Van Leeuwen. Herself an Indo. An antropologist, and a polical scientist. She states that the Indo community historically had a very large number of fascists back in the colony, have strong anti-immigration feelings in the motherland, widely share anti-Islamic sentiment ('the Muslims drove us out of Indonesia'), and have a very large support for Wilders, who is one of their own*.He's making stuff up if he's claiming there's a widespread pied-noir sentiment that Geert Wilders supposedly draws from amongst our Indo minority which simply is not there.
You have given me 'some of my Indo-friends' best friends are Muslim'....
I would be interested in numbers of political parties this demography voted for, is a member of. A study, a link, which shows Van Leeuwen is wrong in her assertment of the political preference of many Indos.
*Kralizec just taught us that not only Wilders, but his political mentor as well is Indo. Kralizec uses this to relegate into the bin the claim that Wilders personal background is relevant. Me, it bolsters me in the belief that one should not a priori exclude the possibility that Wilders background is not entirely irrelevant for a deeper understanding of this man.
